A House of Hospitality for those in need
Amos House is a place without judgment, a place of nourishment for body and soul.
Nearly 70,000 Rhode Islanders live in deep poverty—making less than $9,601 per year for a family of three. Many of these working poor are among the 500+ people who come to our dining hall each day for a hot meal.
In order to continue serving our community in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 crisis, we instituted a number of changes to our Soup Kitchen program, including:
- adding a temporary evening meal for the months of March, April, May, and June
- temporarily suspending our volunteer service program in order to reduce exposure in the kitchen
- creating multiple staff shifts to prevent cross contamination
- delivering meals to area emergency shelters and tent encampments
